Many businesses may not be able to offer health benefits right now and HealthiestYou from Teledoc is a great option for them to provide a service to those who need to see a physician during this time.

Healthiest You offers your employees the ability to safely seek medical assistance from the comfort of their homes anytime of the day or night.

Employees meet virtually with a medical or mental health professional and may eliminate the need to leave the house to go to a crowded clinic, urgent care or ER where they can be infected or spread the virus.

Virtual visits are offered though employers who may choose to cost share with their employees.

Members-only price is $7 per employee per month for unlimited virtual visits (includes all family members at no additional cost) with $0 copays. Click here to learn more.
